I think it is referring to the box set.
FTR, the “duh” was not directed at you. Also on that list, The Beatles “White Album” is referred to as “The Beatles” (which is the correct title). “Led Zeppelin IV” is not the correct title of “Led Zeppelin”. They should have used parentheses on those three albums, I guess.
87, wow. Most I haven’t listened to in ages.
I could go a lot higher if I include duplicates of different formats. For instance I have *Dark Side of the Moon * on vinyl, cassette, CD and found an 8 track at a garage sale to complete the set!
Like the previous law concerning “Boston”, anybody over the age of 35 is required to own at least one copy of DSOTM. I have the album, the regular CD, the gold CD, and the 30th anniversary CD.
I have 80 of them. Wow.
Is anyone else surprised at how few Rolling Stones albums are on the list? And nothing by The Who?
Those are US figures. Another source shows the biggest sellinh Who album, Who’s Next, only sold about 3 million copies.
Yeah, that really surprised me. On the other hand, I had no idea that Whitesnake sold so many records.
Another eyebrow-raiser was the Beatles’ Anthology Vol. One being ranked higher than most of the “real” Beatles albums. Yes, it was enormously hyped by the “reunion” single and the tie-in to the TV special, but I would expect it for just that reason to have been one of those albums that sells hugely at the time of release and then disappears. I wonder how many buyers have been fooled by the title into thinking they were buying a greatest hits collection.
Count me in at about 55. Wow. No Garth or other country, rap/hip hop, or Barbra/Celine/etc.
69 out of the top 100. 
If by Garth, you mean Brooks, he has 9 albums there. Alan Jackson has 3. Shania Twain has 3. Celine has 3.
I own 43 of those albums, 4 of which are in the top ten (Thriller, Led Zeppelin IV, The Beatles (which I assume is the “White Album”) and Rumours.
Oh! Forgot to mention that most of the 43 I own are on vinyl. Some (like “The Beatles”) I own on CD AND vinyl.
39, all but 5 on casette. (4 CDs, 1 vinyl)
Only 2 from the top 10, “The Wall” and “Back In Black”.
I never realized how well “Van Halen II” sold.
Whod’a thunk it? Between my wife and I, we own, or have owned, 95 of those recoeds - yow!

Oh, you’re SO above it all, aren’t you?
George
Oops… Repiled to the wrong post - boy, are my sails without wind…
George
OK, This is the one… Oh, you’re just so above it all, aren’t you?

I wonder how the sales points may be skewed by people who join the Columbia House or BMG CD Clubs and don’t see a lot of choices they would like to make - so they end up with The Eagles’ Greatest Hits 1971-1975 as one of their 12 free selections. I’ve seen an awful lot of the same CDs at peoples’ houses that came from one of the clubs.
Even though I have one of the largest numbers of records on the list in this survey, none of them are country or MOR or teenybopper bands, or were recorded after 1986. I’ve got records by approximately 10,000 other artists who never made the list. But you know, if you’re going to be a DJ, you have to buy records that people want to hear. That’s why I have a large number of records that I never listen to anymore. I’m a collector and a completist, but I also was an entertainer. The thing is, I can’t bear to get rid of any of my records. I just cannot part with them. Sorry!
